Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 234 Earth-shattering! Forcibly kissing the Queen Mother! Troubles

Seeing these words, Empress Dowager Cixi's mind almost roared.

The next content is almost impossible to watch, it is really subversive.

The Eight Banners are the foundation of the country.

The Qing Dynasty relied on the Eight Banners Army.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass, it was also the Eight Banners Army that determined the world. (actually not necessarily)

The Eight Banners Army is the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty is the Eight Banners Army.

If the Eight Banners Army was disbanded, then... would it still be the Qing Dynasty?

I know your movements will be big, but this is too big.

This booklet is very thick, with more than 20,000 words, all of which are details on how to form a new Imperial Army.

Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly had countless things to say.

You, Su Yi, are also from the Eight Banners, and you are also a member of the official clan now.

And the most important point is that Su Yi also applied to the late emperor to train new troops, but it was only less than 3,000 new troops.

The result?

As a result, you and the late emperor had a falling out. In the end, the new army completely obeyed your orders and even went directly north to the side of Qingjun.

It is with your new army that you enter the center.

Then... what about the future, after the new Imperial Army is formed?

How many people now say that you are Dong Zhuo and you are Cao Cao, but after entering the center in the past few months, you have done very well and have a close relationship with everyone. No one calls you Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao at all. .

Now that you are doing this, aren't you afraid that the talk of Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao will spread again?

Speaking of which, Su Yi was really very calm after entering the center.

The imaginary struggle for power and the imaginary political struggle almost did not appear.

Although Su Yi still didn't have much team members, the court ministers and central officials directly recognized Su Yi's power and were willing to obey his orders.

Without it!

There is one fundamental reason: Su Yi is from the clan.

After everyone fought fiercely, they found that they couldn't beat you, Su Yi.

If it works, then everyone will obey you.

After all, even if the meat rots in the pot, you are also of ancestral blood, right?

Prince Gong and Prince Yi made it clear in one sentence that there was a conflict between the brothers.

But now, Su Yi wants to tear down the foundation and foundation of the Qing Dynasty.

How is this possible? It will definitely cause earth-shaking.

After a long while, Cixi said: "Su Yi, let's have a few intimate words behind closed doors."

Immediately, the eunuch An Dehai closed the door of Sanxi Hall completely, leaving only Cixi, Ci'an and Su Yi in the room.

"After all, you and the late Emperor are also brothers."

"The relationship between you and us is also..."

"After all, we are a family, right?"

Su Yi said: "Yes, Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "We have been angry before, had quarrels, and almost fought, but because the blood of the whole family flows in our bones, my sister immediately stood by you after you picked her up."

Empress Dowager Ci'an's beautiful and peaceful face blushed slightly. After all, why are you involving me?

"Later, you lead your army north to Chengde. You have 20,000 troops, and Chengde has 70,000 to 80,000 troops. But the idea in our minds is not to fight, not to have a civil war. It is also because you are our brother, and Chengde will obey There is no shame in surrendering. If it had been anyone else, they would have been beaten to death. Regardless of the inability of these 70,000 to 80,000 troops to defeat the foreigners, it was because they knew that the foreigners would not take over the Qing Dynasty. If it were a Han army, these 70,000 to 80,000 people would fight to the death.”

"Everyone is willing to obey you because you are one of the Eight Banners and one of the clan. They think that you are capable and can lead the Qing Dynasty out of its predicament and become prosperous. But it is not to overthrow the country. If you overthrow If you lose the foundation of the country, then everyone will not recognize you and will not obey you. "

Su Yi was silent for a while and then said: "Queen Mother, from your perspective, if I want to usurp power, what should I do?"

These words shocked Cixi and Ci'an.

Your words are too bold and direct.

Su Yi said: "I have now entered the center, and the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone has also entered the right track, and the finances will gradually become more abundant. I only need to reach a compromise with Zeng Guofan, and the two families will work together to destroy the rebellion and regain Nanjing. Then I sign a secret treaty with the foreigners to compromise, and many diplomatic problems will be solved. "

"Queen Mother, I want to continue to make great achievements and take full control of the center. Is it difficult?"

"Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time!"

"If it weren't for the country and the country, why would I do such a difficult thing and such a big thing?"

"Everyone knows that it is difficult to seize power and even harder to hold on to it, but innovation is the real difficulty."

"If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces."

"Everyone is waiting for me to be the first to make a fire after entering the center. I have many plans, and some of them are beautiful, inspiring, and easy to work."

"But Chen still chose this most difficult job."

"Why? Because military reform is the foundation of national innovation. If the military cannot complete the reform, all subsequent reforms will not be successful and will not be thorough."

"Now it seems that the imperial court has a central government, and it can also issue orders. But except for the north, how many provinces in the south listen to the imperial central government? They have military power and financial power, but at critical moments, they cannot command at all."

"Just look at Zeng Guofan. He was asked to fight Anqing, but he didn't fight. He trades with foreigners every day, poaches the corners of the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone every day, and expands his army every day. What does he want to do?"

"I really thought about it and discovered that military reform is the foundation of all reforms."

"As long as the military cannot reform, everything else will be pie in the sky."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Su Yi, it's okay to have military reforms, but can't you plan for them slowly?"

Su Yi said: "Queen Mother, many other things can be planned slowly and step by step. But for military reform, we must cut through the mess quickly and fix the situation in one fell swoop."

"In any reform, the center often uses so much effort that only six points are left in the middle, and not even three points are left at the end."

"If you plan it slowly, the 100% outcome will be to sell mutton and dog meat. The thunder will be loud and the rain will be light. In the end, nothing will happen. Instead, it will become a feast of corruption for a group of people."

Su Yi continued: "Queen Mother, our court's top priority is to unify the country and take over the financial and military power of each province. But now there are rebellions everywhere. Without a strong army, how can we quell these rebellions?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "I don't quite understand, but...but if Zeng Guofan and others are asked to suppress the rebellion, wouldn't it be okay to disband their troops after the suppression is completed?"

Historically, the Qing court did this.

Su Yi said: "Yes, this is the easiest and most relaxed approach. But by that time, these local provinces will no longer be under the control of the Central Committee. Even the central army in the future will not be under the control of the Central Committee."

Of course Su Yi is not an alarmist. The last Beiyang Army and Beiyang Navy are already the absolute main force of the Qing court, but are they back to the center?

Su Yi said: "Queen Mother, the easy road is the road of no return."

"There are currently 100,000 people in the Eight Banners in Beijing and 120,000 in the local Eight Banners. It will cost more than 10 million taels of silver every year just to support these armies."

"But do these troops have combat effectiveness? Whether it is suppressing rebellion or fighting against the British and French coalition forces, have these more than 200,000 troops played any significant role?"

If there had been fighting power, today's result would not have been achieved.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Su Yi, can we not abolish the army? But reform it? Aren't you training the new army? Just follow your method, find foreign instructors, and reorganize and train these Eight Banners armies according to the new army standards?"

This technique was also used by the Qing court in history, but it was useless.

"It's useless." Su Yi said: "I just said that the Eight Banners Army is rotten at its core, so it must be completely overthrown. If you just innovate the army, it will really be a waste of national money and become a minority. Tools for getting rich.”

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "I also know that severe cases require strong medicine, but my body is too weak. If I take this strong medicine, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold on and die."

Su Yi said: "Empress Dowager, now is the best opportunity and the last chance. The British and French forces invaded the city of Beijing, the late emperor hunted in the north, and the Qing Dynasty suffered an unprecedented humiliation. At this time, people's minds have changed, and there is still some motivation for innovation. If you don’t change it now, it will become increasingly difficult to change it in the future.”

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Isn't it necessary to carry out the Westernization Movement? After carrying out the Westernization Movement, the national finance will be rich, which means that the Qing Dynasty's body will be stronger. Isn't it safer to use strong medicine at this time?"

Historically, the Qing government also launched a seemingly vigorous Westernization Movement, which greatly eased finances and seemed to increase national strength. It was known as the Tongzhi ZTE.

But are the results useful? It only caused a slight stir, but the whole country quickly sank again.

The so-called Tongzhi ZTE is just an illusion, not even a flash in the pan.

Finally, during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 and the Gengzi Revolution, all fig leaves were torn away and the entire country and nation sank into a dark hell.

Su Yi said slowly: "Queen Mother, before the Westernization Movement, military reform must be completed. Otherwise, the Westernization Movement is destined to not be thorough, and the country will not be able to truly industrialize, and everything will be superficial."

"I have a saying: take the initiative to change things while you still have the strength. There will still be a glimmer of hope in the future."

"When someone forces you to change your mind and puts a knife to your neck, there is no hope."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said softly: "Su Yi, of course you are very capable and have a high vision. As a woman in the Ai family, some things cannot be seen clearly. But now the country is still in great chaos, with rebellion in the south, Russians in the north, and Russians in the northwest. I heard that there is also great unrest. There are also Nien bandits operating in Shandong, Henan, Anhui and other provinces, and foreigners are entrenched in Guangzhou. Each of these is a huge trouble. Should we wait until these troubles are resolved before we carry out the so-called military reform. Wait until the country is a little more stable before carrying out military reforms? "

Su Yi said: "The Queen Mother, in fact, it is easier to succeed if you carry out military reforms while these chaos are still happening. And if you want to quell these rebellions and completely drive away the foreigners, don't you need military reforms and a strong modern army?"

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Su Yi, don't care about these things, don't talk to him. But military reform costs money, whether it's the dismantling of the Eight Banners Army or the establishment of the new Imperial Army, it costs a lot of money, right?"

Su Yi said: "Yes, a lot of money."

Cixi said: "About, how much is it?"

Su Yi said: "The most direct expenditure may be around 30 million taels."

Hearing this number, the Queen Mother of the two palaces almost felt dizzy.

Although the Qing government's current annual fiscal revenue is about 40 million taels, it is already very barely able to support itself, and it is completely unable to make ends meet.

In your current military reform, you have to spend 30 million taels from the beginning?

Where did the money come from?

"Where does this astronomical amount of silver come from?" asked Empress Dowager Cixi.

Su Yi said: "Part of it comes from my Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone. Of course... the income of the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone is first handed over to the inner treasury, and then it is allocated from the inner treasury to the special Imperial Army Headquarters."

Cixi trembled and said: "You, you want to hand over the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone to the national treasury?"

"No, it's the inner treasury." Su Yi said: "The national treasury is now a mess of politicians, and corruption is too serious. This money will be handed over to the inner treasury first, and then it will be transferred to the national treasury after the establishment of the Western Affairs Office in the future."

"The 30 million taels of silver for military reform will be paid by the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone, part by the General Taxation Commissioner, and the remaining insufficient will be loaned from foreign banks."

Empress Dowager Cixi continued to read the following content.

For example, the first step is to open the Imperial Central Army Academy.

The second step is to establish the Imperial Army Department, which is specifically responsible for military reform.

Moreover, in the list Su Ye listed, there was only Su Ye in the Army Department, and the remaining few people were not from his faction.

Ronglu, Senggelinqin, and Jingshou were all in the Army Department.

It seemed that Su Ye was completely upright and had no intention of monopolizing military power.

After a long while, the two Empress Dowagers said: "Su Ye, this matter is too big, so big that it subverts the foundation of the country, and even I dare not accept it."

"How about this, let it out a little first to see how big the reaction is between the court and the public."

The two Empress Dowagers did not dare to accept it, nor were they willing to accept it, so they tactfully let the wind out to test it, so that Su Ye would retreat.

Su Ye said: "I obey your order."

"But Empress Dowager, this matter cannot be discussed in a big way. Even if it is to be discussed, it can only be discussed at the Military Affairs Office at most, and the number of participants cannot be too large, let alone at the court meeting."

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "I don't want to, the more people there are, the more mixed their mouths are, and the more scattered their hearts are, the things will not be done."

Next, Su Ye left the palace!

…………………………

According to the two Empress Dowagers’ intention, let the outside world know first.

The imperial court may carry out military reforms, disband the Eight Banners Army, and establish a new imperial army.

All of a sudden!

The court and the people were directly blown up.

It directly set off a storm.

Almost instantly, this news overwhelmed everything.

It was really earth-shattering.

At first, I didn’t believe it and thought it was a rumor.

What a joke, the Eight Banners Army is the foundation of the country, how could it be disbanded?

Will the Qing Dynasty still be the Qing Dynasty?

So, the various figures of the Eight Banners climbed up the relationship and asked the relevant personnel of the central government.

The Eight Banners are all relatives, and they climbed up a little bit.

Then, many people got the signal.

This... may not be a rumor.

There is no secret in the central government.

This was proposed by Su Ye, the Duke of Feng’en Zhenguo, and he has already reported it to the two Empress Dowagers.

All of a sudden, countless Eight Banners children were completely enraged.

It exploded instantly!

Good for you, Su Ye.

You still say you are not Cao Cao, you still say you are not Dong Zhuo?

What are you going to do by cutting off the Eight Banners Army? Are you going to overthrow the Qing Dynasty?

Before Wang Mang usurped power, he still knew how to put on a show. You are so impatient after just taking office for a few months?

Clear the court, clear the court!

Suddenly, Su Ye's Fengen Zhenguo Mansion was once again surrounded by countless Eight Banners children.

Countless Eight Banners shouted for killing.

"Where is Su Ye? Is he an Eight Banner? Is he a royal family?"

"Isn't he a part of this country?"

"Is he going to ruin the Qing Dynasty like this? Will our ancestors spare him in the underworld?"

"If he stands up, I will point at his nose and scold him, and I will spit in his face."

Su Ye had just entered the center and was immediately criticized by thousands of people because he had shaken the interests of too many people.

"We know that when he enters the center, his first policy should be big and inspiring. But you are the one who staged the suicide of the Qing Dynasty, right?"

"You are going to overthrow the lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty, and you still say you are not plotting a rebellion?"

……………………

Su Ye's first policy angered most of the bannermen.

However, the outer city was a different scene.

The bannermen in the inner city shouted and killed Su Ye.

But the Han people lived in the outer city, and they couldn't describe their feelings at this time.

Excited? Fearful? Uneasy?

All!

Lord Su Ye, we look forward to a new dynasty and a new atmosphere, we look forward to innovation, and we look forward to your first fire.

But... this first fire is too terrifying and too big.

It has far exceeded our expectations.

Lord Su Ye, you... you are so awesome.

However, if this thing can really be done, even if it is only half done, then Lord Su Ye is also a great talent.

Then this country really has hope for revival.

Lord Su Ye, we dare not think about this matter, but we are looking forward to it.

Then, this news spread from the capital like a storm, spread to Zhili like a storm, and then spread to the whole country.

At this time, the civil and military officials of the court poured out impeachment memorials like a tide.

Impeaching Su Ye for shaking the foundation of the country and having ulterior motives.

But the strange thing is that most of the impeachment memorials were written by Han officials.

I, Su Ye, want to disband the Eight Banners Army and establish a new Imperial Army, which shakes the interests of the Eight Banners. It’s fine for these bannermen to shout and kill, but you Han officials are doing it as if your ancestors have died?

It’s really a pity that they don’t fight.

You support the Eight Banners ancestral system more fiercely than some bannermen.

The Eight Banners Army, whose fundamental interests were shaken, immediately organized a strong political counterattack.

Now the two Empress Dowagers and the Political Affairs Hall have not passed this resolution. It is still just Su Ye's personal idea.

Then overthrow Su Ye and drive him out of power.

Therefore, this group of opposition parties needs to elect a leader.

So, they set their sights on Su Shun.

He is a cabinet minister, and he has been in charge of the central government for more than ten years. He is also Aisin Gioro, and there are two people in the Political Affairs Hall who are his followers.

Countless Eight Banners nobles want to nominate Su Shun as the leader to drive Su Ye out of power.

……………………

Su Shun's residence.

Duanhua, Zaiyuan, Jiao Youying, Mu Meng, and Jingshou are all in his residence.

Although this person is not in the Political Affairs Hall, he is still the most powerful force in the court.

Jiao Youying said: "When Yi established the Political Affairs Hall, he invited Su Zhongtang, but you refused, saying that the Political Affairs Hall was too stormy. Was it for today?"

Su Shun said: "Based on my understanding of Su Ye, I knew the storm would be big, but... I didn't expect it to be so big."

Then, Su Shun sighed: "I used to have five points of respect for this person, but now I have seven points of respect."

"This person's courage is completely unimaginable."

Zai Yuan said: "That's also nonsense. How can you reform like this? Change towards your lifeblood all at once? If the country wants to reform, it must cut off its own lifeblood first?"

Zai Yuan is also one of the iron-hat kings.

For a long time, although Su Shun was in charge of the center, the nominal military minister was usually Zai Yuan.

Su Shun said, "Not necessarily."

Everyone immediately looked at Su Shun and said, "Su Zhongtang, do you still support him in disbanding the Eight Banners Army?"

Su Shun said, "I can't say I support it, but apart from the ancestral system, these 200,000 Eight Banners Army have low combat effectiveness and cost 10 to 20 million taels of silver every year. They are indeed a huge burden."

Duan Hua said, "But the Eight Banners are the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty is the Eight Banners. If the Eight Banners Army is disbanded, will the Qing Dynasty still be the Qing Dynasty? What is the difference between his behavior and treason?"

Jiao Youying said, "Su Zhongtang, do you think Su Ye is loyal or treacherous?"

Su Shun said: "Before this incident, I thought he was 70% treacherous. But after this incident, I can't see clearly. Is there any treacherous minister who doesn't seek power first, but conducts subversive reforms?"

"In history, who has carried out this level of reform and didn't die?"

"A treacherous minister must first control the center, cultivate a team, and finally take power and dominate the court. And his posture directly went to the opposite side of the entire Eight Banners and even the entire court."

"Where in the past dynasties have such treacherous ministers?"

After this was said, several people present were silent.

Su Ye is already in the center. According to this posture, he will be able to take power in a few years. Who can stop him?

As a result, he proposed such a subversive reform and offended countless people.

If you want to seek power, isn't it a far-reaching approach?

"I've read his memorial. In the army department he proposed to establish, apart from him, no one else is his, and some are even his political enemies."

"So at least now, he really has the attitude of sacrificing his life for the country and the people."

"This group of banner nobles want to nominate me as the leader, the opposition, and drive Su Ye out of office?" Su Shun said, "I am determined not to be the leader, and I advise you not to do it either."

Duan Hua said, "Do you still want our support?"

Su Shun said, "Support? Who dares to support? Whoever supports will be the mortal enemy of all bannermen, and will be crushed to pieces if he is not careful. We are not as tough as Su Ye, so how dare we support him."

"But at least I don't want to oppose it publicly."

If there is a powerful official in the Qing court who dislikes the Eight Banners the most, it is Su Shun.

How many times has he said that the Eight Banners are all confused, and when he was in power, he also tried to rectify the Eight Banners and offended people.

But he is not strong enough, so he only tried it briefly and did not dare to make a big move.

……………………………………

In order to express his attitude, Sushun directly closed the door of his mansion, saying that he was sick at home and would not see any outsiders.

Next, many of the Eight Banners nobles went to find another clan leader, Prince Hui Mianyu.

But Mianyu was best at closing the door.

He closed the door of the palace earlier than Sushun.

So, everyone went to find Prince Gong Yi.

As a result, Yi was not in the palace at all, and no one knew where he lived.

The two Empress Dowagers had talked to several ministers of the Political Affairs Hall.

Su Ye's first new policy was too big and too drastic, and they did not dare to agree.

However, at the critical moment, they could not undermine the stage, and they must unite.

Otherwise, they had just been in power behind the curtain, and the Political Affairs Hall had been established for just a few months, and they began to openly undermine the stage. What kind of words would it be?

After such a big storm, the matter of changing the reign title could only be delayed.

Several clan leaders either closed the door or hid.

So, many of the Eight Banners nobles came to the door of another giant's mansion.

Prince of Khorchin, Senggelinqin.

Although he personally hanged his own son Boyan Nemohu, and although he apparently stopped the mutiny, he had no faults.

However, after the establishment of the new central government, he was still idle at home.

He rejected all the official positions conferred on him by the court.

But no matter what, he is still a prince of the court and the leader of the Mongolian princes.

The Manchus and the Mongols are one family. The Eight Banners are not only Manchus, but also Mongolians are major shareholders, and there are also some Han people.

Countless people knelt at the door of Senggelinqin's palace.

"Monk King, you are the pillar of the Qing Dynasty. Now the Qing Dynasty has Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo."

"Monk King, there are treacherous ministers in the court. You must eradicate the treacherous ministers and clear the court!"

"Monk King, the foundation of the Qing Dynasty is about to be overthrown. You must come out to turn the tide and save the country."

At this time, in the monk king's palace.

Shengbao, Wenxiang, Baojun and others were inside.

Shengbao was furious and said, "Is Su Ye crazy? If the Eight Banners Army is abolished, will the Qing Dynasty still be in existence? Does he not even try to hide it?"

Baojun said, "Sir Wen, you have been working with him in the Zongli Yamen for several months. What do you think of this man?"

Wenxiang was silent for a while and said, "Will I be scolded if I tell the truth?"

Shengbao said angrily, "Just tell me."

Wenxiang said, "He does not bear grudges and does not abuse power. The three prime ministers are implicitly headed by him, but he basically delegates power and lets us do things. He only takes action when the people below cannot do it."

Shengbao sneered, "It's just pretense. The Zongli Yamen has just been established, and everyone is looking forward to diplomatic achievements. He didn't accomplish any of the three major diplomatic events. What kind of shitty ability can he have? When Guiliang and Prince Gong were in charge of diplomacy, they negotiated several treaties and were humiliated and scolded by him and knocked to the ground. As a result, it was his turn to take the throne. , isn't it the same, one thing has not been done? "

"The three major diplomatic events over there could not be done, and he could not explain to the two Empress Dowagers, and could not explain to the subjects of the world. So here he launched the earth-shaking new policy of abolishing the Eight Banners and forming the Imperial Army. "

"What does this mean? Can't you see it? It's just a gimmick, just to attract attention. Because the three major diplomatic events could not be done, Su Ye created a bigger gimmick to cover up his incompetence. "

"Everyone knows that it is impossible to abolish the Eight Banners Army. Why did he bring it up? It is to prove to the world how brave he is and how bold he is. He has always been like this, likes to bluff and make a big show. "

"In this way, even if the three major diplomatic events cannot be done, it is you, the Eight Banners nobles, who are making trouble, and it has nothing to do with him, Su Ye. "

Wen Xiang stopped talking immediately.

Because none of the three major diplomatic events now on the Zongli Yamen have been done.

But in the past few months in the Zongli Yamen, Wenxiang felt that he had gained a lot and had truly gained an international perspective for the first time.

Moreover, for these three major diplomatic events, Wenxiang felt that Su Ye had already made up his mind, but the heat was not yet there.

Moreover, letting Guiliang and Wenxiang talk was just to let the two of them test the water and feel the temperature.

These three major events still had to be solved by Su Ye himself.

Of course, Wenxiang could not see at all that there was any solution to these three major diplomatic events.

Moreover, he did not understand why Su Ye proposed such a shocking new policy as the disbanding of the Eight Banners Army when these three major diplomatic events had not been completed.

Wouldn't it be better to solve the major diplomatic events first?

Wenxiang did not understand it very well, but he was shocked.

Although it was possible that Su Ye was bluffing as Shengbao said, Wenxiang was willing to see it first.

Even for what Su Ye would do next, Wenxiang was still looking forward to it in his heart.

Such great courage was really contagious.

Shengbao said: "Prince of Monks, now everyone hopes that you can stand up and fight against the evil government. What do you think?"

Senggelinqin said slowly: "I will not stand up."

Shengbao said: "Su Ye, but your son's murderer."

Senggelinqin said: "Bo Yan is seeking death."

Shengbao said: "In Su Ye's memorial, in the Minister of the Army, your name is there. Have you been bribed by this Minister of the Army?"

Senggelinqin said coldly: "Whatever you say."

Then, Senggelinqin came to the door.

"Come out, come out!" The nobles of the Eight Banners shouted.

"Prince of Monks, you have to make the decision for us."

"You have to take the lead and support the country."

Senggelinqin said word by word: "This king, only listen to the decree of the two empress dowagers, and there is no need to say more!"

After that, Senggelinqin closed the door directly.

……………………

Su Ye's house is no longer habitable. Now there are crowds of people and it has been completely surrounded by the nobles of the Eight Banners.

So, he lives in one of his sister-in-law Bai Feifei's secret villas.

"Sir, this group of Eight Banner nobles went to find Sushun, Mianyu, Yi, and Senggelinqin, intending to let them take the lead in opposing you, but all four of them refused." Heigong reported.

Su Ye said: "But they still found a leader of the opposition, right?"

Heigong said: "Yes."

Su Ye said: "Prince Dun? Yixin?"

Heigong said: "Your Excellency is very smart."

Prince Dun Yixin, the fifth brother of Emperor Xianfeng, was a rough and unrestrained person with a chivalrous heart.

When the British and French forces broke in, he kept saying that Emperor Xianfeng would lead the army in person.

Such people are most easily incited.

"Sir, there are now several thousand children of the Eight Banner nobles surrounding your house. They have repeatedly thrown feces and tried to set fire to your Zhenguo Mansion."

"Moreover, there are even children of the Eight Banners who are planning to assassinate you."

The world is like this. You want to lead the army north to Chengde, and you want to enter the center? That's fine, but you want to cut off my job? Then I will fight to the death and cut off people's wealth, just like killing their parents.

"There are at least dozens of groups planning to ambush you on the way to court."

"Moreover, many Eight Banners nobles have started setting fires everywhere, planning to cause trouble."

"There are many Eight Banners camps in the capital, planning to assemble in series and prepare for a mutiny."

Lin Li said: "Sir, the heat has reached a certain point, it's time to take the next step."

Tian Yugong said: "Now the entire central ministers are watching. No matter what the purpose is, they will not end up. So the only obstacle now is actually the two queen mothers."

"As long as the empress dowagers of the two palaces nod in agreement, this earth-shattering policy can be implemented."

But it was too difficult to get the two empress dowagers to agree to military reforms.

Thousands of difficulties.

This is indeed a matter of subverting the foundation of the country. It is absolutely impossible for them to take the initiative to make this determination.

Lin Li said: "According to my lord, women cannot make such a determination, and they cannot afford such consequences. But women are also emotional, and we can force her to agree."

"So, it's time to take the initiative to leave the capital temporarily and get out of the way. Let the situation in Beijing add fuel to the flames and make it more troublesome."

"My lord, let them burn it at the Zhenguogong Mansion in the capital. Let them burn it and burn it to ashes. Even if they don't dare to burn it, we will burn it ourselves."

"It's best that this fire burns brighter and stronger, and finally burns the queen mothers of the two palaces."

"My lord, take the initiative to leave the capital and return to Jiujiang. This will give these Eight Banners nobles hope. They will go further and ask the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces to remove the lord. The Queen Mothers of the Two Palaces will definitely not allow it, and then this group of people will become more and more troublesome, and finally Completely angered the Queen Mother of the two palaces.”

"Let the Eight Banners Army stand on the opposite side of the Queen Mother and make them completely anger the Queen Mother."

Suddenly, Tian Yugong said: "Your Excellency cannot take the initiative to ask to leave the capital. You must ask the Queen Mother of the two palaces to speak."

Lin Li said: "Yes, in addition..."

Then, Lin Li said: "The Empress Dowager Ci'an is weak-tempered and cannot handle such a big matter. The key will fall on another Empress Dowager."

"My lord, it's time to put your beauty trap to work."

……………………

Next, the situation intensified.

More and more nobles of the Eight Banners were angered, and things got worse and worse.

Moreover, more and more Eight Banners troops gathered in the inner city.

It has even begun to happen that masked banner men secretly attack courtiers.

Finally one day, things completely exploded.

Countless torches were thrown at Su Yi's Feng'en Town Duke's Mansion.

They had set fires countless times before, but they had all been extinguished. However, this time the arson was too powerful and there was no time to put it out.

In the end, Su Yi's mansion burned and was destroyed.

The fire light dyed the entire sky red.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces stood high up, looking at the flames soaring into the sky, and their whole bodies were filled with fear.

Finally, the Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Come here, send someone to summon Su Yi into the palace secretly. Don't let anyone see it."

"嗻!"

More than half an hour later.

Su Yi, dressed in black, appeared in front of the Queen Mother of the two palaces.

"The Queen Mother was frightened."

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Look at you, why is this happening? You are in charge of the center step by step, but you have caused such a big disturbance. Now it is just a little bit of news, and the situation is already so out of control. If it is really implemented Isn’t this new policy going to cause a stir?”

Su Yi said: "The Queen Mother, my army has been assembled. As long as the Queen Mother gives the order, we can suppress it and quell the chaos."

"No, no..." Empress Dowager Cixi said: "That would only add fuel to the fire. Is it possible to kill them all?"

Then, the Empress Dowager Cixi fell into silence.

After a long while, the Queen Mother said: "Otherwise, Su Yi, you should leave the capital first to avoid the limelight and let the situation calm down."

Su Yi couldn't help but said in shock: "At this time? I'm leaving the capital?"

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Don't think too much. No one can shake your position in the center. No matter whether it is in the Political Hall or the Prime Minister's Office, it will not change. I just want you to avoid the limelight."

Su Yi said: "Empress Dowager, these people bully the weak and shy away from the strong. The weaker we are, the more they will push forward. When I am in the capital, they can still vent their anger on me. Once I leave the capital, they are afraid that their anger will be directed at the Queen Mother." Sprinkled on the head."

"Oh!" Empress Dowager Cixi said, "Just listen to my advice and leave Beijing for a while. Gradually this storm will pass. Then you can come back."

In the final analysis, the empress dowagers of the two palaces simply did not have the courage or willingness to reform military affairs, let alone dismantle the Eight Banners Army.

So Lin Li was right, he could only force them.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said from the side: "Anyway, your army is still in the capital, so you are not afraid of any recurrence."

These words were so direct that Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't help but roll her eyes at her.

Su Yi pondered for a long time and said: "No, I can't leave the capital. I can still calm down the situation in the capital. Once they leave the capital, they will make an even bigger fuss, and I'm afraid they will really disturb the empress dowagers of the two palaces."

However, now the queen mothers of the two palaces just want to calm down the incident immediately and let the court calm down.

Because they had just listened to the government behind the curtain not long ago, they also felt that the name was not justified and they felt unsure.

You must know that at the time of the Holy Ancestor, there was no precedent for the Empress Dowager to listen to politics behind the curtain.

Su Yi was unwilling to leave the capital, leaving them with no choice but to do anything.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Sister, Su Yi and I will talk alone."

Empress Dowager Ci'an was stunned, what do you want to do?

However, the Empress Dowager was more afraid of confrontation, especially unwilling to disagree with Su Yi. And she thinks that Yehenala is more capable, so leave it to her.

So, Empress Dowager Ci'an left directly.

…………………………………………

In the entire Sanxi Hall, there were only two people, Su Yi and Yehenala.

Everyone retreated far away.

Suddenly, Yehenala said angrily: "Look, look, you don't mean what you say. You used to say well in Chengde and you would listen to me whatever I say, but now you don't listen at all. I only want you to be here for a short time." Just leaving Beijing, you don’t want to do this?”

"Aren't you just worried that there will be a relapse after you leave Beijing? Then I have sworn that I will let you leave Beijing briefly for a few days, and I will call you back as soon as the situation calms down."

"I also swear that your power in the center will never be shaken during this period. Your position and the position of your faction will not be moved."

"Chongen is your father-in-law. I can directly consecrate him to the title of censor of Zuodu of the Imperial Procuratorate and the crown prince Shaobao. Is that okay?"

"Don't worry."

Su Yi said: "Empress Dowager, I am not worried at all that I will lose power after leaving the center. I am really worried that after leaving, their arrogance will become even more arrogant, which will completely disturb you."

Yehenara said: "Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents. If you want to destroy other people's livelihood, of course they will fight you desperately. This kind of thing should be done slowly. Now you are at the forefront, as long as you leave Beijing temporarily, They gradually died down. The Ai family understands the principle of going strong and then failing. "

Su Yi wondered: "But."

Yehenara said: "There is nothing to be ashamed of. If you listen to me, then leave the capital first. Otherwise, just resist the decree. It's not the first time anyway. We orphans and widowed mothers are easy to bully."

Su Yi was silent.

Yehenala said: "Did you hear it?"

Su Yi stepped forward, hugged Yehenala's waist, and said softly: "Queen Mother, I am really worried about you."

Yehenara's delicate body trembled, and she exclaimed in low voice: "You, you are crazy, there are people outside, please let me go."

Su Yi said: "Is it okay if there is no one around?"

"Nonsense." Yehenala scolded in a low voice: "What do you think of me? We are monarchs and ministers, so don't be ridiculous!"

Su Yi hugged her tightly and let her struggle.

"You are crazy, let me go." Yehenala whispered: "If people see me, will I still be alive?"

Her cold and beautiful face was red, and she was really frightened and scared, lest someone rush in at this time.

Su Yi said: "Zhen'er, do you really want me to leave Beijing at this time?"

"Stop shouting, are you disrespectful?" Yehenala said angrily.

Su Yi said: "Queen Mother, do you really want me to leave Beijing at this time?"

Yehenala said: "Do you listen to what I say? You, Marshal Su Yi, are very capable and have a big temper. You will resist orders at every turn."

Su Yi said softly: "Just give me a kiss and I will leave Beijing."

After hearing this, Yehenala said in a cold voice: "Don't even think about it. You dare to tarnish my name. Be careful and I will order you to beheaded."

Su Yi said: "Then I won't leave Beijing."

Yehenala immediately gritted her teeth with hatred, her eyes turned red and said: "Su Yi, what do you think of me?"

Su Yi didn't speak, just stared at her.

After eight years, it was the first time for Yehenala to face Su Yi's face so close.

Such a heroic figure, such a compelling momentum.

Yehenara's breathing became more and more rapid, and his breath was really like a blue.

The originally gorgeous face became even more delicate, and the red lips were as red as blood.

Su Yi kissed her firmly and slowly.

The Queen Mother's twenty-seven-year-old delicate body trembled suddenly.

The kiss lasted for two full minutes.

"Dang-dang-dang..." The clock rang.

The beautiful Queen Mother suddenly woke up and pushed Su Yi away.

Wiped his lips.

"Bah, bah, bah!"

Then, she stared at Su Yi with red eyes and said, "You... just know how to mess with me."

Su Yi did not take any further action. This was probably the limit that the beautiful Queen Mother could bear.

Then, Yehenala said: "Now that you have violated me, are you satisfied? Are you willing to leave the capital?"

Su Yi said: "The Queen Mother really wants me to leave the capital, so of course I have to obey her order. But, they will really..."

"There is no but." Yehenala said: "You leave the capital first and talk about it after the situation has calmed down."

Su Yi said: "Then I really left Beijing first."

"Let's go, let's go..." Yehenala said, "Huh! I'm annoyed when I see you now."

Su Yi bowed and said, "I take my leave."

Then, Su Yi turned around and left.

"Wait a minute!" the beautiful Queen Mother whispered.

Su Yi said: "What's wrong, Queen Mother?"

The beautiful Queen Mother said: "Su Yi, remember, that was the last time. If you dare to treat me like this next time, I... I will not let you go."

Su Yi did not agree, nor did he refuse to agree, and said directly: "I resign!"

Then, he left directly.

After Su Ye left, Yehenara sat down and gasped.

She took a cup of herbal tea and drank several cups.

………………………………

After the news of Su Ye's departure from Beijing spread.

Suddenly, the Eight Banners nobles in Beijing celebrated.

Hahaha, Su Ye was driven away.

As long as hundreds of thousands of us Eight Banners nobles are united, Su Ye still wants to make trouble?

You can enter the center, but you want to disband the Eight Banners Army and ruin the future of hundreds of thousands of us. It is really impossible.

And countless Han people, even some officials, couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Did Lord Su Ye's first fire just go out?

This first new policy ended in vain?

We know that this is difficult, but... it's really not your style to escape without a fight.

After Su Ye left Beijing, just as the two Empress Dowagers expected, the situation in Beijing soon calmed down.

They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They felt that this move was finally right. As for the disbanding of the Eight Banners Army, they didn't have the determination and courage.

However, this group of Eight Banners nobles who felt they had won were not satisfied with this result.

Although Su Ye left Beijing, there was no conclusion on this matter.

And the two Empress Dowagers are women, so can we go one step further?

We continue to make trouble and make things worse.

Force the two Empress Dowagers to make a public statement that they will never mention the disbanding of the Eight Banners Army again.

And Su Ye, as the initiator, must be punished by the two Empress Dowagers, so that everyone can feel at ease.

So, the slightly calm capital was once again in turmoil.

As Su Ye expected, many Eight Banners nobles directly burned the fire on the two Empress Dowagers.
